Always good to have some hand wash about 

  i am a really bad person

not to sure my credit cards will take that sort of punishment 

Not to sure she will let me get away with that one.......... could be worth a try though   

Hello all,

Planning is now under way for 2007

LM already sorted

She that must be obeyed enjoyed Jarma and Donington this year so has given the ok for Silverstone and either Monza or Valencia

I have never been to either so what are your thoughts? ease of getting from the airport, hotels etc.

As far as i can see so far Valencia airport looks to be nearer the track.

Trouble is Bob using the old tickets to local clubs to be entered into a ballot still doesn't work, unfortunately there are clubs and certain individuals that will still sell their ticket allocation on the quiet to make (1) extra cash for the club (2) more likely - extra cash for themselves....

At the end of the day I agree the real fan does suffer, but show me a way of making ticket allocation fair, I've not seen one yet.


I can say as the Club Secretary for one of the last few fully affiliated RFU Pub teams, the RFU have set up a scheme that enables clubs to legaly sell there ticket allocation on to certain registered hospitality companies. These companies do pay a premium for the tickets, as i recall it was about £80 on top of the face value of £65 tickets.

We do not take advantage of this offer due to us only getting on average 4 tickets per home game and about 30 people wanting them!

The last time i went to Twickenham it was to watch England v SA and we got tickets via a Africans friend who got them from the SA RFU and they were a lot cheaper than we could get them for !!!

Could you not take one of those self cutting tap things used for washing machines etc (you can see that i am well up on DIY) put that on there then you would not have to worry about their tap

I hope it is Donington but i think that it will be Silverstone

hello all just back from jarma, was it just me or were there no facilities to get a drink or food at the track other than the place at the back of the pits?

I hope it does not go back there

Did he get out ok?
Looked like the car held together pretty well, big pat on the back for the cars builders i feel.

I would check with the owner first though

 

we went past blue n i think it was traveling towards the main entrance at about 2.30 in the afternoon on the friday when we saw a large old american convertable deciding to do a burn out to please the crowd,  egged on by quite a few people as well. as he tried to start the wheels spinning there was a loud bang and all went quiet from the spectators. i think it was a drive shaft that went. i doubt he will be doing that agin next year.

IMHO

i think that most genuine fans would join the ACO if they were assured that they would get there ticket allocation as requested (even on a first come first served basis)

A few of my group have been members for 6 years now and in the begining we used to get what we asked for (booking at least a year in advance) now we just get you are on the waiting list. Which means in the end we go else where and pay a premium to get what we want.
